Our butterfly garden received a whole bunch of love this past week. With the help of Alessandro O., we constructed homemade butterfly feeders! We also assembled a butterfly feeder that we ordered from Amazon. Orange juice is the sweet, nectar-like substance that we added to our feeders to attract the butterflies. We were a little nervous about the state of our garden after the storm that blew through Pingree Grove, but all was intact! (Perhaps our shepherd's hook was a bit bent, and our tomato plant capsized, but we will able to set everything right again.) Our only plant casualty (despite all of the hot sun and the rabbits) in the garden so far has been the potatoes that we were trying to grow in a burlap sack. That is one experiment we will need to start anew.
